Hi Nikos,

The https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fett-oauth-dpop-04 draft you've
referenced is several revisions out of date. Looking at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-dpop/ will show the
current latest, which is currently
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-oauth-dpop-02.html.

Some of that terminology has been cleaned up already. There are a couple
places where payload could be used rather than body that I'll change in the
next revision. I think that JWT header is probably more meaningful to most
readers than JOSE. And while it is technically a JOSE header, it's also a
JWS header, which is also a JWT header. This JWT is a JWS. Both have a
header. The same header.
